The seventh annual report by an international coalition led by Oregon State University scientists says the Earth's climate system is quickly becoming unstable and that while signs of important ...

Scientists have reconstructed approximately 500 million years of Earth's climate history, revealing periods when global ...

For most of our Earth’s history, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have ranged between 180 and 280 parts per million.

Climate change has pushed the planet's environmental systems "deeper into uncharted territory," researchers said in a new report centered on the state of Earth's climate in 2026.

Earth’s climate system is more out of balance than at any time in observed history, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization, which points out how human-driven warming is ...

Earth's temperature has been much cooler in the past than previously thought, meaning it could be moving toward the warmest it's ever been. Research at the University of Leeds used a new method to ...

Climate and Earth system modelling is the use of mathematical representations of key components and properties of the atmosphere, ocean and biosphere to construct computer models. These models – which ...

While millions around the world grappled with extreme heat this month, a research station in Antarctica recorded Earth's coldest temperature since 2012. The high-altitude research station, named ...

The new paper is part of an ongoing research effort that began in 2018, when Smithsonian researchers were helping develop the museum’s “David H. Koch Hall of Fossils— Deep Time.” The new hall aimed to ...

Palm trees in Alaska, crocodiles in Wyoming: Fossils show that Earth’s temperature has changed over hundreds of millions of years. Now a new study co-led by the Smithsonian and the University of ...

Researchers explore the likelihood that Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake data ...

A sunshade to help protect the Earth from climate change could be built within the next 20 to 40 years, a new study argues.
